He was trained in scholastic theology and philosophy at Paris, and his writings are invaluable for summarising many of the metaphysical speculations of his time. The Policraticus is his main work, and is regarded as the first complete work of political theory to be written in the Latin Middle Ages. Cary Nederman's 1991 edition and translation is primarily aimed at undergraduate students of the history of political thought and medieval history. His translation shows how important this text is in understanding the mores, forms of conduct and beliefs of the most powerful and learned segments of twelfth-century Western Europe.\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003eAcknowledgements\u003cbr\u003e Editor's introduction\u003cbr\u003e Bibliography\u003cbr\u003e Principal events in the life of John of Salisbury\u003cbr\u003e Prologue\u003cbr\u003e Book One\u003cbr\u003e Book Two\u003cbr\u003e Book Three\u003cbr\u003e Book Four\u003cbr\u003e Book Five\u003cbr\u003e Book Six\u003cbr\u003e Book Seven\u003cbr\u003e Book Eight\u003cbr\u003e Notes to the text.\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003eSubject Areas: History of ideas [\u003ca title=\"See our other books on History of ideas\" href=\"https:\/\/freshlyprintedbooks.co.uk\/search?q=%22History%20of%20ideas%20%5BJFCX%5D%22\"\u003eJFCX\u003c\/a\u003e]\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\r\n\u003c\/font\u003e","brand":"Cambridge University Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46001505501464,"sku":"9780521367011","price":26.39,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0730\/2037\/5320\/products\/9780521367011i_27a7b1d8-59b5-4694-ad70-34cf85a60478.jpg?v=1691375772","url":"https:\/\/freshlyprintedbooks.co.uk\/products\/john-of-salisbury-policraticus-paperback-9780521367011","provider":"Freshly Printed Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
